WEST HAVEN, Conn. -- American International College scored twice in the second half to break a deadlock an win 3-1 over University of New Haven in non-conference men's soccer on Wednesday afternoon at Kayo Field.
AIC (6-9-3) got second-half goals from Bernard Kessie and Jeff Morrison to pull away with the victory. Kessie's goal, which proved to be the game-winner, came in the 54th minute and Morrison's first goal of the season came at 69:52.
